Prices

Islo Machines: prices per resource
ResourcePricePer hour
per vCPU$0.07 /h[1]$0.07
per GB of memory$0.04 /h[1]$0.04
  • Pay as you go: $0.07 per CPU-hour (per core while the machine runs), $0.04 per GB-hour of provisioned memory, $0.0007 per GB-hour of disk; no plans.
  • Pausing (manual or by lifecycle policy) snapshots the VM and releases compute; paused machines keep their filesystem and can auto-resume on activity.
  • The default image includes Claude Code, Cursor CLI and Codex CLI; `islo use --agent claude --task "..."` starts an agent with a prompt in the background.
  • BYOC (control plane and machines in your VPC) is offered through enterprise deals.
  • Harbor users get $250 in credits (docs.islo.dev/integrations/harbor).
